1. Factory farming is inefficient; the high intensity of farming leads to increased energy, water and resource use, resulting in pollution and waste.
2. Factory farms are known to cause animal suffering; inhumane conditions including overcrowding and lack of exercise leads to pain, illness, injury and disease. 
3. Factory farming contributes to an increased risk of foodborne illnesses, due to the larvae and parasites that are often present in large animal farms. Additionally, the use of artificial growth hormones and antibiotics may have a negative effect on consumer health.
